  Blanche Kindrat RRPr – Reflexologist

Blanche is a certified Reflexologist, Acupressure Massage Therapist, and Reiki Practitioner trained at The Holt School of Healing, Caledon, Ontario beginning in 2006.

The ancient Chinese practice of Reflexology, a manual hands on therapy focusing on the feet, has recently enjoyed a surge in popularity as a modern Holistic Therapy to relieve Pain and Stress.

Reflexologists believe that using a targeted pressure point massage is able to restore the flow of energy throughout the body or “qui”. (pronounced chee)

It is a specific pressure technique applied to the feet where all internal structures and organs are mapped or mirrored in miniature. Therefore reflex points on the feet correspond to different organs or systems of the body.

Sometimes ‘crystals’ or tenderness is felt in a certain area which indicates blockage or imbalance in the corresponding organ or body part. Crystals are waste deposits made up of excess calcium and uric acid that build up when the metabolism is not working properly. The Reflexologist will spend time using the thumbs or fingers to break down these blockages, so that they can be eliminated by the body.

Reflexology is a safe non invasive and relaxing treatment. It’s aim is to assist the body to heal on it’s own and to maintain a balanced state of health or “homeostatis”.

Reduces stress and induces deep relaxation

 Bianca is a Yoga & Meditation Teacher as well as a Reiki Master. Her journey in yoga and reiki began after dealing with many emotional challenges and debilitating illnesses over the years. This allows her to bring compassion and understanding to all her classes and sessions. Along the way, she discovered that there is more to life than worrying about the physical. Her reiki sessions help work towards mind and body relaxation as well as achieving emotional and spiritual contentment. To Bianca, reiki is much more than just working with energy. It is about developing a better understanding of how to connect to our essence and our higher selves. She understands that developing this level of self awareness and mindfulness can be a challenging process and therefore, is determined to create a safe, positive and peaceful environment for this journey.  

 Reiki healing is energy healing. It is an energetic massage of the central nervous system. It uses the 'universal life force energy' by laying on hands to promote stress reduction, relaxation and light healing of the physical body as well as opening emotional and spiritual blocks. It helps one become more connected to their soul and their essence. The process of a Reiki healing session helps you begin to develop an understanding of the deeper issues and root causes of what you are dealing with or what is affecting you on a physical, emotional and spiritual level.

Crystal therapy is also used during the session by having specific crystals placed on the body, over the chakras, to help increase the flow of energy as well as many other benefits.

Each session is closed off with vibrational sound healing by using a quartz crystal singing bowls or Tibetan singing bowl and tingsha bells.
